Harper's Bazaar, March 2014, Lady Gaga
"Eyes closed, surrounded by a cut-out Carolina Herrera neckpiece, Lady Gaga looks like she's ready to explode. Photographed by Terry Richardson, what compels about the cover is both the graphics and the rare stillness of a superstar. Here, cut-out means a knockout."
This portrait is absolutely stunning. Lady Gaga seems posed, yet completely relaxed at the same time. The way the photo is layered adds a new dimension to the photo that really interests me as a viewer. I also love how Gaga is in a way framed by the cut-out Carolina Herrera neckpiece and it brings the attention to Gaga as the main subject. Speaking of the neckpiece, this piece is truly remarkable. The design is so intricate and detailed, yet somehow it's a subtle add to the cover as a whole. However, without this addition, the photo would seem plain and lacking the creative touch that has been produced from Bazaar magazines.
